Had authorities in Newark New Jersey contacted federal immigration officials after illegal alien Jose Carranzas first felony indictment last year he would have been deported and therefore prevented from murdering three innocent youngsters in a schoolyard this month.

Someone in city government should be prsoecuted for turning this animal loose to prey on the citizenry.

And in all the coverage I have seen no mention of motive. Was it a robbery or is he just that depraved?

It also urges county prosecutors to notify federal immigration officials of adjudicated illegal aliens whether or not they get convicted.

This is a key point. In many states the County/District/States Attorney is elected and is largely independent of state control. Prosecutors should always report criminal aliens to ICE. In my opinion, not to report them would be a violation of their oath of office. Having said that, it is virtually impossible to get ICE to do anything about illegal criminals who are reported to them

These sanctuary laws are long overdue for a heavy duty challenge all the way to the Supreme Court. They should all be invalidated as unconstitutional. No way is it within the scope of the states’ powers to require their paid employees to aid and abet people in their ongoing violations of federal law.

They are NOT immigrants. Immigrants come in the front door and are here legallY. This article is about illegal ALIENS

N.J. Illegal Immigrant Alien Sanctuary Protects Murderer Corruption Chronicles ^ | August 15, 2007 Posted on 08/15/2007 1:08:47 PM EDT by Delacon Dozens of cities across the nation have proudly become illegal immigrant alien sanctuaries, but officials in one municipality are pondering the status after a Peruvian man with a felony record massacred three college-bound students. Had authorities in Newark New Jersey contacted federal immigration officials after illegal alien Jose Carranzas first felony indictment last year he would have been deported and therefore prevented from murdering three innocent youngsters in a schoolyard this month. Instead Carranza was released on bail, despite being charged with raping a 5-year-old girl and aggravated assault and weapons violations. This week he was charged with the gruesome execution-style murders of three college-bound students, ages 18 to 20. The shootings evidently pushed Newark authorities to violate their sanctuary policy and contact federal immigration officials who had not been previously informed about Carranzas crime spree. If they had, Carranza would have placed in removal proceedings after his first felony arrest in October 2006. But like a growing number of municipalities across the nation, Newark is an official illegal immigrant alien Sanctuary City in which police cannot ask a suspect about immigration alien status. Other sanctuary havens include Detroit, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston and New Haven. Some states--such as Alaska, Oregon and New Jersey--actually have blanket sanctuary laws. In fact, New Jersey passed legislation in 2006 that bars law enforcement agencies throughout the Garden State from asking about immigration alien status. After the measure blew up in their collective faces with this horrific case, lawmakers are reconsidering the consequences. Now a Newark city councilman wants to sponsor legislation urging local police to call immigration authorities upon arresting undocumented aliens (in this case, "aliens" is redundant) because it helps law enforcement go after bad people in our community. One newspaper editorial suggests that illegal immigrants aliens charged with serious crimes such as rape and murder should not ever be release on bail. It also urges county prosecutors to notify federal immigration officials of adjudicated illegal aliens whether or not they get convicted.

(Proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy.)

Depite the fact that the suspect was in the country illegally, and could have been deported before committing these murders after being suspected of raping a 5-year old, Jon Corzine, in all of his infinite gubernatorial wisdom has decided that the tool used to commit the crime is the real problem http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_227134244.html

(It's pronounced 'ASK' not 'AXE'. It's a 3 letter word. How difficult can it be?)

I live in South Jersey. The police refuse to prosecute illegals for minor offenses that they prosecute citizens for. In the middle of filling out paperwork for a report, if they discover the suspect is hispanic, they pack up and leave.
